Clean and Comfortable!

We really enjoyed our weekend stay at this home. It was updated, clean, spacious for the 6 of us, and right on the lake! We’ll plan to stay again next time we’re in town!

The driveway is a little tricky but the house was great. It's beautifully laid out with a food-lovers kitchen including a wine fridge. The bonus kitchen area on the lower level was helpful.

Christmastime stay

The home is in a convenient location. Close to downtown. We have only stayed in the winter so I can’t comment about the lake other than it was a pretty view. We were disappointed that the hot tub was not working this trip but had fun playing games around the table.

Fantastic property!

Very comfortable stay! The house was clean, updated and stocked with the essentials. When we had an issue with the door code, the owner was quick to communicate and resolve the problem. Beautiful views of the lake. We were able to spread out (adults and teens in the family) and everyone had a comfortable bed. I'd definitely recommend this house if you're looking for a place to stay in the area. Rated 5/5.

Fountain Lake with Family

It took a little navigating to get to the property but well worth it. Lots of room. The hot tub was fun for the “kids” (17+). Nice view of the lake although it was frozen and foggy that weekend. There were a few minor issues but was able to connect with the owner to get them resolved. We would definitely stay again.

50th birthday party,

This place was amazing to have as a hub for my 50th birthday celebration. There was plenty of room for myself and 8 other people. We did not feel crowded at all. Nathan was super responsive to all questions and concerns we had. Although the weather was cold, we were still able to enjoy to amazing view of the lake. Next time we are in Albert Lea for the summer, this will be the place to stay.

It was at holiday time so it was too snowy to go outside much. The accommodations were wonderful with plenty of room for my family to spread out. Everything was well-stocked in the kitchen. Everyone enjoyed themselves and said they wanted to come back. It was a little difficult to connect with the manager as 24 hour beforehand came and I hadn't heard about the check-in procedures yet. I had to contact VRBO to see if they could get the information I needed. Shortly after, I did get a message from the manager with the info.

never heard back from host about kitchen faucet not working so never had water in the kitchen so we’re unable cook. Ice maker in the fridge didn’t work. Our guests in the basement never had access to the “3rd bathroom” that was advertised (door was locked). Some of the simple conveniences were a big inconvenience for our stay.
